In light of recent events, I’m actually thinking about defederating the “opt-in” purists for the following reasons:
They did not actually opt into receiving my posts, therefore they shouldn’t have access to them
They so far refuse to join or operate a whitelisted version of the Fediverse that is specifically opt-in
Despite this inconsistency, they are dogpiling and harassing people who do not share their vision of an opt-in version of the Fediverse
Each time someone who’s a total beginner experiments with the ActivityPub spec, the opt-in purists respond with ugliness, and this is toxic to the future of the Fediverse itself
I do not want to subject myself to death threats, or worse, simply for expressing an opinion that is different from the opt-in purists
This is not something I’m going to pursue immediately, but certainly considering this quite heavily. Either way, if the opt-in purists won’t create their own opt-in version of the Fediverse, then I’m likely going to opt out of federation with them.
